It’s more about trying to help the cleaner energy sources get off the ground, rather than a purely financial incentive.

How much extra investment to you think green tech companies get for pension funds excluding investment in this sector? They also only invest in publicly listed companies, not green startups. To me it seems like the exclusion is based on them viewing it immoral to invest in these companies..

I think the right way to go about this is to tax consumption of fossil fuels in countries where we can afford it and use the money to subsidize green tech/industry.

With the power that these companies have over the politicians through lobbying, that’s unlikely to happen.
